Published according to the true Originall Copies. London, Printed by ISAAC IAGGARD and ED. BLOUNT, 1623. An exact Reproduction of the extremely rare original, in reduced facsimile by a photographic process ensuring the strictest accuracy in every detail. A full Prospectus will be sent upon application, " To Messrs. Chatto and Windus belongs the merit of having done more to facilitate the critical study of the text of otir great dramatist than all the Shake- speare clubs and societies put together. A complete facsimile of the celebrated First Folio edition of 1623 for half-a-guinea is at once a miracle of cheapness and enterprise. Being in a reduced form, the type is necessarily rather diminutive, but it is as distinct as in a genuine copy of the original, and will be found to be 'as useful and far -more handy to the student than the latter."

It contains the very vocabulary of unrestrained humour, and oddity, andgrotesqueness. In a word, it provides valuable material loth for tJie student of language and the student of human nature."
